Krabi International School, delivering Cambridge and English National Curriculum to Primary and Secondary students from 5 to 18 years old.

We feel that education is more than simply teaching children facts, it is about nurturing and moulding young minds and ultimately producing a spark that leads to a lifelong desire to better themselves.

Our vision is to foster a school that is strong in the sciences, technology and the environment and to produce adults that use these skills to better the future of everyone from the local community, to the country and the planet!

"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."

- Albert Einstein

"Children must be taught how to think, not what to think."

- Margaret Mead

"My favourite definition of an intellectual: 'Someone who has been educated beyond his/her intelligence'. "

Visa Information

Thai immigration often change visa requirements without notice, therefore it is important that you also talk to them directly.

If you require personal assistance, our staff are able to communicate directly for you, although additional charges may apply.

Krabi International School can help your family move to Thailand with a Thai Education Visa

Like many other countries Thailand requires you to have a visa to stay long term. We can help provide necessary paperwork in gaining a Non-Immigrant ‘ED’ visa for your child. Parents or legal guardians can then apply for a Non-Immigration ‘O’ visas on the back of their child’s ED visa. These Non-Immigration Visas must be obtained before you enter Thailand and can be applied for at a Thai Embassy or consulate in your home country.

Our staff will happily assist in providing you all the necessary paperwork to obtain your child’s visa once enrolled at Krabi International School.

What is an ‘ED’ education visa?

This visa is specifically for foreign students who will be studying in Thailand at a recognised institution, like Krabi International School. There are certain requirements like number of hours study, however as your child will be in full education, these will naturally be met. The initial visa will be valid for 3 months but can be extended once you are in Thailand. Each extension is for a period of 1 year. These 1-year extensions will be repeated indefinitely while studying at Krabi International School.

What is an ‘O’ dependant visa?

This visa can be applied for by parents or legal guardians of the student with an ‘ED’ visa based on the fact that they would support the student during their stay in Thailand. The initial visa will be valid for 3 months but can be extended once you are in Thailand. Each extension is for a period of 1 year. These 1-year extensions will be repeated indefinitely while the student is studying at Krabi International School.

Seeing how much she has developed in terms of her language skills and her general wellbeing at school, as well as hearing from her about all the fun she there means there is never a day where we regret our decision to send her to this school.

Before attending Krabi International School in 2017, our daughters were in a very structured curriculum, focused mainly on the Maths and Sciences. While this is great, we felt studying all the time was preventing our daughters from memorable experiences.
